Proverbs To Live By

Blog: #1 of 2 by Conor Murphy

Previous  |  Next

April 11th, 2013 - 05:35 PM

I found a little book a few years back called, Proverbs To Live By,
The Copyright was from 1968 and is a Hallmark Edition.
I try and read something from it everyday, It is my Bible for life
As from today I hope to write a Proverb every day into this blog, Please visit me to see what Is today's Proverb.
If you care to add a Proverb to it, or pass a comment, please do. All are welcome
Thank You.
My piece of artwork here is called, Storm to the East of the Skelligs.
